We were trying to diagnose an issue we had around 1 PM EDST, and were looki=
ng at net flow data. The data indicated a significant change in our traffic=
 patterns, all coming from Akamai address space. The Akamai utilization gra=
phs show a near doubling of retail traffic in the same time period that we =
had traffic spikes. Does anybody have any idea what caused such a major sur=
ge in traffic?=20
